Title: Buccaneers Offseason Report
Post by StegRock on Mar 3^rd, 2007, 11:45pm

It's a quarterback frenzy in Tampa... according to "The REAL Feed":

Bucs trade for Plummer, sign Garcia in QB splurge (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/03/03/2020.ap.fbn.bucs.qbs.3rd.ld.writethru/index.html)

This is unbelievable... From "The REAL Feed":

PLUMMER CHOOSES RETIREMENT (http://www.sportinglife.com/nfl/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=international_feed/07/03/04/GRIDIRON_USA-Denver_Plummer.html)
Sporting Life: NFL (04.03.2007 16:46)
Jake Plummer has shunned a trade to the Tampa Bay by announcing his retirement.

I wonder what this means for the trade... It's got to be nullified, right? My gut tells me that if they can get something worked out that sends him to Houston, he'd quickly unretire...

Sounds like the Bucs might want the Raiders' number one pick:

Tampa Bay talking trade for Johnson?
(http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ys-bucsjohnson041607&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)Yahoo Sports, 4-16-07

"Al talked to me about what he wants to do, but I'm not sharing that with you," Allen said with a smile. There was speculation that the Bucs had already offered Oakland all four of their picks in the first three rounds (Nos. 4, 35, 64 and 68 overall) to move up.

How about this deal (or, should it be said, no deal) with Plummer? Brought to you courtesy of "the Gridiron Newsstand":

"Still no Plummer in Tampa (http://nfl.com/news/story/10230519)"

I actually think we'll see Plummer quarterbacking the Bucs someday, like next season after Garcia has a lackluster season and Simms continues to... [smiley=parachute.gif] That said, I don't see any scenario which inspires me to protect my boy in the deeeeep-keeper GBRFL this year, and I have a piss-poor team.

A reality I think Simms is going to have to adjust himself to in Tampa... From "The REAL Feed":

Kind of hard to be a QB in the NFL when you have a condition that prevents you from knowing fully where your arms and legs are at any time... :-X

Chris Simms hopes he hasn't played his last game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The fifth-year pro spent Thursday night walking the sideline with a hip strain, leaving Luke McCown and Bruce Gradkowski to state their final cases for being the team's backup quarterbacks in a 31-24 preseason-ending ...
